Good question, you do realize that at the moment those who do nothing (passive vote selling) are getting way more than those who actually curate? It's hurting the platform, yet this behavior continues.
I think I explained the situation well enough here: https://steemit.com/steem/@igster/re-therealwolf-re-justtryme90-re-therealwolf-re-justtryme90-re-kevinwong-lambos-beaches-and-mansions-20181122t170947977z But if that's not the case, I can try and make it more clearer
I do realize that, as I manage SteemSTEM and know quite well how little curators get (even less when you try to distribute the nothing received out to a team of people).
The proposition of letting people have passive income from the reward pool with out curating... I see the logic to it because it could clean up the trending pages and make bidbots less attractive.
I am largely just playing devils advocate with the questions. I would support any number of paths forward, I think at this point its more important that we collectively acknowledge the problem and attempt a solution, than to implement the perfect solution out the gate.
I understand.
Hopefully we could eventually at least try these two propositions together and see if these changes are enough to get this place working as intended again.
And for that to happen, we need to keep making noise about it. It will be harder and harder to oppose this change when majority of the users that are left want it and those who oppose it are the ones benefit from the current situation can't explain their stance logically. It will only drive people away and kill these people's "golden goose", and if the money is only thing they care about, they'll perhaps, finally, listen.
And I think we already have acknowledged the problem, these discussions have been going on for months, lately there's been some serious pushing to finally get something done to fix this issue and people have been coming up with ideas. Separating passive investors from active ones is the best one I've seen so far, in my opinion.
Now if only @ned would chip in.
Lol, yeah right. Like he cares.
